This may not be the best place to ask, but I'm looking for more info on AutoTURN and the hello protocol. I have two machines, west my mailhub, and east, a workstation. west gets external mail and puts it into a maildir in /var/qmail/autoturn. On east, I use fetchmail to poll west and forward the mail. I use proto etrn in the .fetchmailrc even though it isn't supported by the qmail server on west. It exits with a client/server protocol error, but the mail is transferred ok from west to east. However, I'd like something a bit more elegant. This hello protocol mention in djb's documentation, looks interesting, but isn't a standard service on my Slackware 7.1 box. I've done a search on google, but it only brings up a bare description of the protocol and it's service no. If someone could give me a clearer idea of what's needed, I'd be grateful. -- I'm Keyser Soze...No, I'm Keyser Soze. I'm Keyser Soze and so's my wife! (Monty Python play The Usual Suspects.)
